Why ban mercy ?

[PUNX]

I dont see the point when there are more annoying heroes. Like when is mercy a threat ?

If nothing else, damage boost is a massive blight on this game and always has been

she is a threat. To her teammates

I dont like her res

[Basarab Laiota]

she is too cute and shooting at her feels like a war crime.

Second worst support in the game IMO (worst is Lifeweaver)
The only thing she brings to the table is Damage Boost, but most people don't even damage boost that much with her because they'd rather play the team doctor. Everything else she brings every other support does better.
She plays super passively and will most of the time not be able to make a difference on a team fight in the same way other supports can.
In 95% of situations she is a throw pick, and people play Ranked to win, so makes sense people would ban something that would make it harder to do so.

Because mercy is super easy to play and effective like most of the time.

She is really annoying and hard to kill and she makes whoever she's healing feel unkillable

someone woke up today at 3pm, got up from the basement futon while dozens of empty beer bottles, fast food napkins, and Monster cans tumbled to the floor, screamed to their elderly mother upstairs to microwave some chicken tendies for breakfast, logged on to Overwatch, insta-locked Genji, pre-reported all teammates for throwing, and decided, "no healmommies allowed"

Mercys got over 80% of my total play time in this game. Hero bans made me realize how ass she actually is compared to any other support. Her design is very outdated, you are basically loosing a 5th or 6th member of the team for just Damage boost and a very situational revive. Revive/pocketing someone is annoying by design. Most people who ban her just don't want to *loose* a second support in their team, not because she is overpowered.

mercy's a terrible teammate; you're always down a teammate whenever theres a mercy/L-weaver on the team, because neither of them contribute to the fight, so their healbotting means jacks***; its better to have a full team of characters that all have dps potential. Mercys, like sombra, is one of those characters that are hated because of being useless as a teammate & annoying to go against.

the best way to design a bad character is to make sure they suck as a teammate and suck to go against & they did that with Mercy (in ow2).

I mean, Lifeweaver can sorta help out in teamfights if you coordinate ults/with your team. Like, taking a Rein to a spot he usually cant reach. But ye mercy cant do anything in a teamfight.

To make people realize that they can play anything more than just mercy?

It doesn't really matter what L-weaver does because of the mere fact that full dps team > healbots wasting spots. L-weaver is a gimmick & besides, that rein example is utility on L-weavers part, but not dps potential.

People ban her on their own team so that they don't get a deadweight hero.

[< blank >]

People ban Mercy purely out of spite, there is no other reason
